Nice 100k today, felt more like the speed I should be doing: https://connect.garmin.com/activity/888576133

Waffle? How very dare you! This is important and relevant Audaxing information.

I know it's great and it does make me smile.

The real waffle is on the photo challenge thread, we are champions at that.

Can i ask that in your planning for LEL/Audax you build in time for photos. You have the most beautiful landscape up there and i think you should share it

@edindave has advised i need special Audax socks, can anyone lend me a pair?

Oh and I need tartan paint and Some elbow grease...

Yup, and got lost following the route sheet after Haddington - now got route sheet, map AND garmin.

Just need to sort out the legs and body...

Too organised!

My first audax involved a basic printed set of directions in the back pocket, getting lost multiple times as I hadn't realised there were no arrows, the bike breaking twice and scraping under the time limit by 30 seconds.

If that happens to me the bike will be in a hedge and I will be wailing by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.

And before anyone asks I've done the other side AND have a plastic cover. Now to start making a list...
